About the Item

Kahn – Handcrafted Roman Travertine Stool by Sanna Völker, Brutalist Design Made. Kahn is a handcrafted sculptural stool designed by Sanna Völker, the acclaimed Barcelona-based Swedish designer. Made from Roman travertine stone, this piece is a tribute to architect Louis Kahn, echoing the grandeur of ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman monuments. Kahn embodies a powerful contrast between raw natural material and refined geometric form, blending brutalist influence with serene delicacy. Each stool is carved from a block of travertine sourced from a historic quarry opened in 1880 in the mountains of Catalonia, the same quarry that supplied stone for the angels of Gaudí’s Sagrada Família. The piece is shaped by a fourth-generation family of master stonemasons, ensuring a deep connection between material heritage and artisanal craftsmanship. With its timeless elegance, Kahn serves equally as a functional object or collectible design sculpture—perfect for minimalist, architectural, or wabi-sabi interiors. Designer: Sanna Völker Sanna Völker is a Swedish designer based in Barcelona, working at the intersection of Scandinavian restraint and Mediterranean expression. Her work—shown in Milan, Paris, Cologne, and Barcelona—draws inspiration from architecture and brutalism, with a focus on natural materials, clean geometries, and timeless composition. Völker’s designs invite a quiet dialogue between rawness and refinement, reflecting a contemporary, sculptural sensibility.
